day 66 of summer

Day #66:  Monday, July 28

Our first full day in Chicago was all about Shedd Aquarium and the Field Museum along with a walk to see the lake and some Chicago style pizza!

First on the TRAIN.  This is a train we all now know ;).

The aquarium was lots of fun, but really busy.  Thankfully we got there early enough because when we were leaving the line was all the way down these stairs and across the sidewalk. 

Look at the size of those fish!

Those are some crab legs!

At the dolphin and whale show.

Sharks!

Then off to the Field Museum...a little Night of the Museum action ;).  This place was good, but two very large museums in one day about kills three little kiddos.

The largest T-Rex that has been found.

To appease the kiddos...souvenirs!  That's an elephant pillow, snake, and jaguar.

I love that skyline.

We took a walk along the lake.  Found this wall that was built up...seems a little dangerous to just be open like that...right?  So what happens...

Of course those boys {I'm including that older one too} have to get in the splash.  Don't worry Mama Bear had to end that quickly.

Finally some stuffed pizza from Giordano's.  I don't want to know how many pounds of cheese I consumed in one slice!  But it was good!
